- I just got home from my Hema appointment and I'm so excited that I am stopping my warfarin as of today. I'm not excited because I think Warfarin is bad (I know some people really hate being on it). I'm just excited because I feel like I reached a...
- Yesterday I took the leap and made an appointment with a personal trainer. I've been essentially not working out at all since my knee surgery 6 months ago (PE 5 months ago). I've gained 15 pounds in this time (putting me now 30 pounds heavier than...
- Two weeks ago I switched from taking 1mg of Warfarin 6 days a week to 5 days a week. My INR had been 3.5, and they wanted to bring it down a little so they asked me to hold my dosage 2 days a week. I was already holding Tuesday, and the nurse on...
- It's been 3 months since my PE, and I am about a week into a cold which is now all in my chest. I was a little surprised that all of my coughing wasn't making my lungs hurt. However, today, I'm feeling pain in my left lung.I'm due for an INR check...
- Twice now I've noticed that my veins are much more visible than normal. They aren't swollen or bulging, just very blue. I notice this on my hands, arms, legs and chest. It's happening now. The last time was 3 or so weeks ago and it only lasted a...
- I haven't been wearing compression stockings. None of my doctors mentioned it to me, and in general I haven't had many issues with the DVT in my leg. I had compression stockings from my knee surgery, and I did wear those around the house the one...
- Everything has been going great for me. It's been 2 months since my PE. The only issue is that my INR is a little high at 3.4 (tested 3 days ago), but that doesn't seem too high to me.I just got back from the urgent care after having what I would...
- It's been about 5 weeks since my PE diagnosis, and I woke up today with a little bit of a cough. It's not too bad or frequent, but when I cough it's more than just a tickle in my throat.I can now feel a little bit of chest pain where it had hurt...
- There is a new article about someone playing a computer game for 40 hours and dying of a suspected blood clot. I don't particularly like the blame game where people assume playing computer games is bad or that the company who creates the game is to...
- I thought I'd post something based on what I'm noticing in my own DVT/PE recovery.My symptoms for my DVT have been pretty slight. I didn't know for sure that I had a DVT until it reached my lungs. Now I have some slight swelling behind my knee...
- I noticed a statement in another post by RetiredNavy that mentioned the liver and it got me thinking about my Father. I just found out that I am Heterozygous Factor V Leiden positive. My father has many health issues and is considering knee...
- I just got the results back from my blood tests during my visit to the Hematologist today, and I found out I'm positive for Heterozygous Factor V Leiden. As I understand it, the "Hetero" indicates that I inherited it from one of my parents. I...
- My neurologist just left the health network he was in. I've been seeing him for the last 6+ years. He was heading up a Headache clinic. Now that he is gone, the headache clinic is being dissolved. The other headache specialist is not taking new...
- I've been posting in this group for a couple of weeks now, so I thought I should introduce myself.I found DailyStrength when I was released from the hospital after having a blood clot in my leg that moved to my lungs. While visiting this site, I...
- When I was diagnosed with my DVT/PE, I was not feeling any pain or swelling in my leg. I had pain in my calf a few days before my chest pain, but no residual leg pain after that.They said I did still have a DVT when they did the ultrasound in the...
